SUN DAMAGE PROCEDURE

Patients seek treatment for sun damage to achieve a rejuvenated look. Sun damage is one of the most common skin issues and it manifests in a number of ways, including hyperpigmentation, also known as sun spots. Prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays can also aggravate fine lines and wrinkles, create rough patches, and cause broken capillaries and redness. At PFRANKMD, both of our NYC locations offer treatments that can effectively reverse the negative effects of sun exposure and sun-damaged skin.

What is Sun Damage?

The sun gives off ultraviolet (UV) rays, which cause minor damage to healthy skin cells. Over time, the damage accumulates, resulting in premature aging of the skin. This process is referred to as photoaging. Sun damage manifests as surface wrinkles, fine lines, redness, dark spots on the skin, and a rough texture.

Our Sun Damage Treatment Options

PFRANKMD offers a variety of non-invasive and non-surgical options for sun damage treatment:

Fraxel Thulium – The Fraxel Thulium 1,927 nm fiber laser delivers fractional energy to sun-damaged skin. This creates microscopic treatment zones to stimulate skin revitalization. The surrounding undamaged skin tissue aids in the healing process.

Clear + Brilliant Perméa – This gentle laser treatment option removes dead and damaged skin cells while encouraging new collagen production in the skin. This heals sun damage and restores healthy skin.

BBL Body Glow – This treatment uses the BBL Hero device to target sun damage using broadband light pulses. It encourages cell regeneration and can be used on all areas of the body.

Aerolase – Aerolase is a very gentle non-ablative treatment used for laser skin resurfacing.

PICO Laser – The PICO laser is designed to break up pigmentation, making it a perfect option for treatment of sun spots.

MedLite – MedLite uses laser energy to target the brown pigment that makes up sun spots. By destroying this pigment, a natural look is restored to the skin.

Excel V+ – The Excel V+ laser combines two wavelengths of energy to effectively remove unwanted pigmentation from the skin. This clears away sun spots.

Vbeam – Vbeam pulsed-dye laser treatment targets broken capillaries and redness, shrinking blood vessels with laser energy.

Am I a Good Candidate for Sun Damage Treatment?

If you are unhappy with the sun damage that your skin has experienced, then you may be an ideal candidate for treatment. It is vital that you have no untreated skin cancer or active skin infections. If you have a history of keloid scarring, you may be recommended for other treatments.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, a physical examination of your skin will be performed to assess the signs of sun damage. You will be asked about your skincare regimen, lifestyle, and prior treatments that may not be compatible with additional laser therapy.

Your medical history will be reviewed to confirm your eligibility for laser treatments. A custom-tailored treatment plan will be created to address your sun damage.

After Your Treatment 

Depending on the type of laser treatment you receive, you may not need any downtime, or you may need a few days to recover. Redness, bruising, and swelling may be experienced but should resolve quickly. Pain is minimal, and most patients are able to get back to their normal routines right away.

Cost of Sun Damage Treatment

The cost of sun damage treatment depends on several factors, including the total number of sessions needed to achieve the best results. The overall price may also be impacted by the number of target areas, severity of damage, and type of treatment performed.

As we age, the skin under the eyes loses volume, which causes hollowing and makes the fat pocket look more pronounced. Regardless of age, the appearance of the peri-ocular area defines how rested one looks. Both genetics, age, and sun damage contribute to the appearance of this cosmetically sensitive area. Here, I am using neurotoxins to elevate and arch eyebrows, revealing more of your beautiful eyes and less of the pigmentation frame, accompanied by hyaluronic acid injectables to instantly rejuvenate the delicate area under the eye and improve the hollowness and pigment.

Although we offer several treatments for this region- from injectables to laser- under-eye filler is often a first line of therapy, particularly for younger patients when the condition is insufficient for surgical intervention. When performed appropriately in expert hands with the right product, it is a home run. The most considerable risk of treatment is usually poor cosmetic outcome, which is why it is imperative to seek out expert hands.

Fillers can make you look as though you’ve slept 12 hours. They also help boost collagen levels, which makes dark circles less visible. To further improve the superficial pigment in the area, I often combine injectables with laser therapy.

At PFRANKMD, we use a variety of fillers, needles, and cannulas to achieve customized and ideal results for each patient. Watch till the end for the before and after.

Say goodbye to aged eyes and hello to a rejuvenated, youthful look. Call (212) 327-2919 to schedule a consultation.

NOTHING tightens skin, improves fine lines, treats sun damage, and smoothens texture better than fractional Co2 laser resurfacing with the Fraxel Re:pair. With just 7-10 days of social downtime, it takes decades off the skin. Optimal results can be seen after three months of treatment.

This patient came to us with the desire to treat sleep lines on her neck.

To maximize results, we needed to treat the sun damage first before we could target the lines on the décolletage with RF microneedling. Sun damage is the precursor of wrinkles and lines. The longer it sits on your skin, the more it affects your natural collagen.

After a single Fraxel treatment to improve damage and quality of the skin, we used the Vivace Ultra microneedling device to deliver radiofrequency energy deep beneath the skin’s surface to repair damaged tissue, resulting in collagen remodeling for tighter, smoother skin.

(2-3) treatments are recommended spaced four weeks apart to see best results.

Several of our PFRANKMD signature and combination treatments include the Vivace device for skin tightening anywhere on the face and body.
